Roman walked toward a door, pushing it open and entering. He sat down on a chair within it, exhaling as he looked at a picture frame that lay on a countertop. He was currently a hundred sixty years old but due to the fact that he used a magic spell on himself to preserve his youth, he didn't feel a day over fifty.Maybe he was selfish, his family and children had all died and he was still here. Sitting down on a chair and giving out orders, he inhaled slowly before exhaling again, who was he doing this for? Was it for himself or was it for Vancrest? He grabbed the photo, slowly caressing his fingers on it.The door closed but it made no sound, he didn't hear the door close and neither did he hear the sound of wind blowing. Despite not hearing anything he knew that someone had entered his abode. "Are you here to kill me?" He asked and to his question, there was no response.Roman waited a handful of seconds for a reply before sighing. "I know it's you, Tharne," Roman mentioned, droppin
Igor gathered stares as he walked through the busy city of Leigrix, It was a staple for him to gather stares wherever he went due to his appearance but this time it was a little bit more than just his appearance they were looking at. “Is it just me or are the stares more than usual?”“Probably jus’ you,” Luna responded and Igor struck her head with an open fist.“I was asking Arya.”“It does seem very strange, let's ask around.” They walked toward a random passerby and as they approached him, he ran away, as if he was hiding something.“See, I knew it wasn’t my mask!” Igor exclaimed, a hint of happiness evident in his voice.This marked the second occasion when all three students had teamed up for a mission. Their first collaboration occurred during an eradication quest in a small town plagued by a Yuu-Kai. Although they had bonded somewhat on that mission, Luna and Igor had grown closer, while Arya still maintained a certain distance from them.Arya confidently approached a shop, her
Finn and the top five had finally returned to Gales, their mana had already been reduced in the fight against the Quinx, and the barrier that surrounded the school dampened it even more. Almost making them throw up.They approached the school and it gave off the same vibe Habe's Bay had given off with the way it felt like a ghost town, "Where's Val and Emirus?" Otto asked one of the first years that was headed toward the dorms."I haven't seen them around." The first year spoke and when Finn asked her about Harlow her response was the same.He might've been a bit late but he wanted to meet Harlow, not only for his sake but also for Gin's sake. "That reminds me, Gin hasn't teleported me in a while." Finn walked alongside his group. "He probably met a girl from the cave and now he's eloping.""What are the odds of that happening, Sir?" Dusk asked and Finn searched through his mind for memories of Gin. "To be honest, quite slim." Upon reaching their dorm rooms, they dispersed in differe
Halestadine rivaled Gales in size, if not surpassing it, boasting a sprawling town filled with larger-than-life inhabitants. Floating vessels dominated the skies, and demi-humans freely wandered the bustling streets.Unlike Leigrix, which prioritized commerce, Halestadine's main focus lay in the medical field, offering healthcare and treatments to all regions under Greatsdane's rule. However, this specialization came at the cost of their adventurers, who often lacked in strength and talent.Their mission in this bustling city was to locate King Caesar. If he wasn't found here, they were to consider aiding Leigrix or returning to the academy, a choice that Micah appeared to favor.Although the journey to Halestadine had been shortened by Micah's use of lightning magic it was still pretty late in the day, the sun had gone down revealing Halestadine’s famous attraction: The Ink blanket.The ink blanket was a rare phenomenon that occurred exclusively in Halestadine, owing slightly to its u
"So what am I gonna do?" Modred asked as he got up from the tree he sat on. To his left was a dead King Caesar who he had found in the Qinqi forest. "I'm just gonna wait for some kids? Do you seriously think I have nothing better to do?""I think those kids could defeat you." The figure said, his tone unexpressive."I doubt you believe that yourself." Modred grabbed his axe off the floor, chopping off King Caesar's head and grabbing it in his palm. "They're here. Should I kill them?""Emirus is going to be here soon, Keep him occupied until we're done in Vancrest. Malachi is already there and hopefully Rescula can get there before Liric does.""You aren't like us, what is your grand plan? What are you plotting?" "Help me keep Emirus at bay, and I'll help you guys ruin Vancrest. That's the only thing you should know." The figure disappeared in a flash of yellow light, the same one that consumed the puppeteer in Halestadine."Nasty demons." Modred walked toward the voices. His Axe. ‘The
Prior to encountering Roman and Ansu, Ysley led a peaceful existence in the outskirts of Halestadine, within the small town of Rebelwood. During this period, his daily routine revolved around honing his skills, with the singular aim of developing a drug that the world desperately required: a universal remedy capable of withstanding even future pandemics. His driving force was a deeply personal one: to rescue his ailing father from the clutches of death."Aren't you going to sleep?" Rosetta, his assistant asked him but he shook his head."Not yet, I still have some work left." Ysley cleaned the sweat off his face before continuing in his experiments.Rosetta looked at him, her eyes subtle and kind as she walked away. Closing the shutters that acted as their laboratory door.Ysley tapped his head with a pen, deep in thought about why his experiment kept on failing. "The values are all correct, so why does it keep dying!" He dropped the pen on the desk, before pushing his chair toward a t
"But Sire, I don't believe this balancing act is necessary right now. Especially since Vancrest has all the chips in their pockets." Rancar spoke to his King."Explain." The King responded, gazing down upon the city of Pluto. Which was one of the five cities of 'Hades'"I believe we should cause a bit of trouble in Vancrest, then after said trouble is over we maintain radio silence until when Vancrest defenses are low." Rancar raised his hand in the air, "Then we strike.""What about Liric and the Sword of Dawn?""If every major combatant helps us in the war against Vancrest, I doubt there would be anything those weapons can do. Especially since we have the likes of the 'Seven deadly sins' on our side." "What kind of trouble do you want to create right now?" The king inquired."I want to send Modred the Fallen and Malachi the immortal to Vancrest, alongside some other people. Let's make Vancrest think we want to steal the Pandora's blessing. When in reality— we come for the destructio
Ysley stood frozen in shock, the seconds stretching into what felt like an eternity. He locked eyes with the monster he had brought to life and an intense soul-piercing connection formed between them."Malachi," Ysley uttered and his former lab assistant walked around him, twirling the pistol in his hand. "You know when I was in that cave. I didn't know what exactly was going on, my mind went blank and all I could think of was your death. But after I came out, I noticed a hundred years had passed. I thought my revenge would never be fulfilled." Malachi stopped. "But here you are, alive and well."Ysley found himself at a loss for words. The students were witnessing a situation that could have potentially led to his demise, something he desperately wished to avoid, especially in this place. "Malachi, I'm sorry for what I di-""Stop! Stop! Stop right there." Malachi put his palm to his face. "Don't give me that fake apology doctor. I know what I saw in your face, you knew what you did.
